Section A is the AM2 composite installation — 8 hours 30 minutes of cable selection, containment, circuit installation, terminations and final connections, all to the drawing and BS 7671. The longest single section by far, and the one most candidates lose marks on through poor first-hour planning.

“Replaced three separate apps with Elec-Mate. Certs, quotes, and scheduling all in one place.”
Daniel Palmer — DP Electrical
Section A is the composite installation. You install a complete electrical installation from drawings — typically including a sub-main, distribution board, multiple final circuits (lighting, power, motor, special-location), containment (conduit, trunking, tray), terminations and accessories. Section A1 covers the risk assessment and initial setup. Section A2-A5 covers the actual installation work. The assessor is watching the whole time — your method, your decisions, your workmanship — not just the finished product.
Every key change in the 2026 amendment on one page. AFDDs, TN-C-S protection, new schedule columns, model forms. Pinned on your van dash.
16 certificate types, 70+ calculators, RAMS, quoting, invoicing, AI agents, and 46+ training courses — from £6.99/mo.

Elec-Mate is my go to app for business and electrical work. It's feature rich without feeling cluttered. A true all in one app for quotes, certs, calculations, RAMS, EICRs, and more. I use it every day without fail, and it makes my workflow much smoother since I'm not jumping between apps anymore. The price-to-feature ratio is excellent. Any issues I've had, the developer responds within the hour and usually fixes them the same day. 100% recommend.
I've used the app and the web based version for a while now and it's well worth the investment. If you're an apprentice or experienced Spark give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
I've been using Elec-Mate for a while now, and honestly, it's one of the best apps I've ever downloaded. Every aspect of it feels thoughtfully designed, from the clean and intuitive interface to the powerful features that make everything so easy to manage. It's clear that a lot of care and attention went into building this app, and it shows in every detail.
